Winnipeg Free Press: Big Buff is all-star stuff. Last night we saw what happens when a ‘heavy’ team like the Sharks comes to town and there is no Buff to hold back the tide. Of course no Bogosian really didn’t help matters, but Buff has shown consistently that he has the strength to deal with these bigger teams.

Winnipeg Sun: Coach going too far? Whether it was inadvertent or intentional, the comments were made. No going back or disavowing them. The team has to move past it as they have the Devils in-town for an Eastern Conference matinee showdown on Saturday.

Winnipeg Free Press: Coach Noel worried about Jets mental state. The frustration was clearly evident following the loss. Captain Andrew Ladd, when speaking with the media, reiterated how sick he is of the team being so inconsistent. They are going to need to get this figured out if they want to continue to seek the post season.
